Hi ... I would observe the puppy carefully ... a pup with head injury ... is likely to show some symptom e.g. like nausea/vomiting, dizziness, lethargy, lack of coordination in limbs ... essentially, your pup will not act normally ... and will show signs of discomfort. But all that said ... errr ... puppies bump into things all the time ... and unless your puppy actually hit his/her head very hard, or fell from a height onto his/her head ... then there is probably nothing wrong with the pup ... The lack of any swelling is a very good sign ... Unless your pup exhibits any of the above sumptoms ... it should be ok. Apply ice? ... Can also, no harm done. But place ice in plastic bag, you really don't want your pup to get wet with cold water. But if you are at all still worried - take pup to vet. It's impossible through a forum of this nature to provide any specific diagnosis of condition, and we can only cite generalities. Cheers
